Abstract
Sugarcane leaf scald, caused by Xanthomonas albilineans, was first observed in Louisiana in November 1992. During 1993, surveys were conducted to determine the geographic distribution of the disease and which cultivars were affected. Symptomatology was monitored in fields with diseased plants, and the effect on yield was studied. Leaf scald was detected in commercial fields of five of seven commercial cultivars. The number of fields of cultivars CP 70-321, CP 72-370, and LHo 83-153 affected and the incidence of plants within fields were low. A greater number of affected fields and higher disease incidence within fields were observed for cultivars CP 74-383 and LCP 82-89
